What is Pretty Good Privacy and how does it work?| Definition From TechTarget

PGP, or Pretty Good Privacy, was a popular software program that provided encryption and decryption for emails on the internet and digital signatures to authenticate message. PGP originally became popular in the 1990s through free and low-cost versions. While the original versions are no longer available due to ownership shifts, PGP now generally refers to any encryption program that uses the OpenPGP standard. PGP remains secure when used appropriately, despite ageing algorithms.
